Fig. 1

Bacterial growth rate, mutation rate and metabolic rate at three temperatures. a Growth rate (sample size N = 20 colonies for each temperature). b Mutation rate (N = 20 lines for each temperature). c Metabolic rate (oxygen uptake rate; N = 14, 11, and 12 test agar plates at 25, 28 and 37 °C, respectively). In each panel, data show mean ± 95% CL, where the 95% CLs were given by multiplying SEMs by the critical value of the t distribution; and data points annotated with a same letter had no significant difference (Padj > 0.05; based on t tests, with P values from multiple comparisons between temperatures for each data set corrected using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure)
